DUMPING WAGON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 748,190, dated December29, 1903.

Application filed March 10, 1903.

which the following is a specification.

My invention relatesto dumping-wagons of that class in which the body ofthe wagon dumps on either side, and has for one of its objects toprovide a support having curved bolsters and rockers on the wagon-bodyresting on said bolsters, together with means to tilt the wagon-body toeither side.

Another object of my invention is to provide derricks for supportingthe'wagon-body when lifted from the running-gear, the same power that isused to dump the wagon-body being adapted for use in conjunction withsaid derricks to raise and lower the body.

The advantages of my invention will more fully appear hereinafter and byreference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a sideview in elevation of my invention; Fig. 2, a top plan View; Fig. 3, afront view in elevation showing the wagon in the act of dumping; Fig. 4,a sectional view on the line as of Fig. 1; Fig. 5, a view illustratingmy device for raising the wagonbody from the running-gear and supportingit, and Fig. 6 a detail view of the top of one of the derricks shown inFig. 5.

Referring to the drawings, in which similar reference charactersindicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 representstwo timbers extending longitudinally of the frame,which I shall callsills and which are adapted to rest upon a run, ning-gear of any desiredconstruction, and 2 represents cross-braces connecting the sills 1, thisconstruction constituting a horizontal frame. 3 representsbolsterssecured to said sills 1, having their top sides curved, and 4representslthe wagon-body, having rockers 5 to rest on bolsters 3.

6 and 6 represent the'front and rearend boards, respectively, of thebody secured to posts 7, supported by the end rockers, while 8represents the side boards, supported on the ends of rockers 5, 9 beingside pieces secured to the ends of said rockers and projecting abovetheir tops, forming recesses on means of cables or chains 10.

each side of the body 4 to receive said side boards. The side boards 8are operated by means of cables or chains 10, secured on the rear endboard 6 at 11 and passing around sheaves or pulleys 12 on the top edgeof each said boards Sand then around a drum 13, journaled on the frontend board 6. Drum 13 has its shaft 14 squared to receive a crank foroperating the drum, while 15 represents a ratchet formed on the loweredge of the drum, and 16 a pawl pivoted on end board 6, so that it canbe thrown into and out of engagement with ratchet 15. It will be readilyunderstood from this description of the side boards that they are heldin position by When it is desired to lower the side boards, pawl 1.6 isthrown out of engagement with ratchet 15, and the side of body 4 havingbeen lowered the weight of the board lowers it, so that the materialcontained in the body is dumped. The lower edge of board 8 is curved, asshown at 17, to permit a free movement thereof, while to prevent endplay of the boards when closed against the wagon-body I provide pins 18on the sides of end boards 6 and 6", which fit into recesses 19 in saidboards.

20 represents an upright frame secured at the front end of the wagon onsills 1, having the drum 21 journaled therein, to which is attached thecables 22 and 23, drum 21 being actuated by gearing 24, operated by acrank 25, loosely mounted on shaft 26. Cable 22 passes upward and overthe top of frame 20, where there are journaled two sheaves 26, so as topermit the cable 22 to be attached to either side of body 4, 27representing a block on said cable adapted to hook into ring 28 on theend of front rocker 5, w'hile the end of cable 22 is provided with ahook or other suitable securing device 29, to be secured in ring on saidframe 20. At the rear end of the wagon another frame 20 is erectedcorresponding in construction with frame 20, ex-

cept that no drum is provided thereon, cable 23 running downward fromdrum 21 around sheaves 31 on cross-braces 2 and upward and over one ofthe two sheaves 26*, said cable also having a block 27 to hook into ring28" on either side of rear rocker 6 and having a hook 29 to be securedin a ring 30 on frame 20 It will be understoodfrom this constructionthat wagon-body 4 may be dumped to either side desired by attaching theblocks 27 and 27 to the rings 28 and 28 on the side of said bodyopposite to the direction to be sired and the contents dumped. Toprevent the wagon-body rocking off of bolsters 3, I

provide rods 32, pivotally secured to the ends of said bolsters andcrossing under the wagonbody, secured to rings in the opposite ends ofrockers 5 by means of hooks 32*. These rods permit the wagon-body torock freely to either side, while at the same time they prevent itslipping off its supports. If it is desired to detach the wagon-bodyfrom the supporting-frame, the rods 32 may be unhooked and the bodylifted therefrom.

33 represents the wagon-body raisers, consistin g of two V-shapedderricks composed of uprights 34, having base-pieces 35 and braces 36,connecting uprights 34 and the ends of said base-pieces 35. The upperends of uprights 34 are loosely connected by means of rods 37, on whichare secured chains 38. When it is desired to raise the wagon-body fromthe running-gear, the derricks 33 are erected over the frames 20 and20*, the blocks 27 and 27 hooked into one of the links in chains 38,while the end of cables 22 and 23 are secured in rings 39 on the top offrames 20 and 20*. The drum 21 is then rotated and the wagon-body liftedand held suspended from said derricks 33.

It will be readily understood that, if desired, the derricks 33 may bedispensed with and any other suitable support substituted such, forinstance, as chains secured in the rafters of a wagon-house, barn, &c.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In adumping-wagon, ahorizontal frame, curved bolsters supported by saidframe, a wagon-body, rockers secured to said body and resting on saidcurved bolsters, and means to tilt said body to either side,substantially as shown and described.

In a dumping-wagon, a horizontal frame, an upright at each end ofsaid horizontal frame, curved bolsters on said horizontal frame, awagon-body, rockers secured to said body and resting on said curvedbolsters, a drum jourualed in the upright frame at the front of thewagon, two cables wrapped on said drum, one of said cables passingupward over the top of the front upright frame the other cable passingunder the Wagon-body to the rear upright frame, and means to attach saidcables to either side of the ends of said wagon-body, substantially asshown and described.

8. In a dumping-wagon, horizontal sills, cross-pieces connecting saidsills, curved bolsters on top of said sills, a wagon-body, rockers onsaid body to seat on said bolsters, rods pivotally secured to the endsof said bolsters having their free ends hooked, eyes on the ends of saidrockers to receive the hooked ends of said rods, side pieces secured tothe ends of said rockers spaced apart from the wagon-body, side boardsmounted in the spaces between said side pieces and the wagon-body,sheaves journaled on the top edge of said side boards, cables secured toone of the end boards of the body, drums journaled on the other endboard to receive the other ends of said cables, said cables passingaround said sheaves, vertical frames on the ends of said sills, a drumjourualed in one of said frames, and passing from said drum over thetops of said frames and attached to the side of the ends of saidwagon-body, substantially as shown and described.
